I highly recommend the ATI 2400 etc modem. I and several of my collegues
have the AT bus internal model but it is available in an external model.
Compared to others i have used it is much more up to date technology with
a suprisingly low number of chips--indicating higher reliability (ATI
seems pretty cutting edge in general). Its a MNP level 5 --which is
absolutely great if you have another MNP 5 to connect to (data
compression giving about 4800 baud rates + NO LINE NOISE!). It is very
competitive pricewise: the external can be had for around $170 from mail
order houses. BTW the company just came out with a 2400 MNP 5 + Group 3
fax card in the $400 range.
(I have no connection with ATI)

Re: Charles Faulhaber's query about 2400-baud external modems. I am
very happy with my low-end Everex 24E+, which includes MNP error
correction Class 2-5, and comes with Bitcom communication software. I
paid $179 for it at the local Compdd outlet. For a telecommunications
tyro such as myself, it has proven to be economical, easy to use (I even
understand the manual!), and trouble-free in operation. Bitcom, too,
was easy for a beginner to use, but I quickly grew tired of its
limitations and acquired Procomm Plus. Alan Cooper, Hebrew Union

In answer to Charles Faulhaber's question regarding 2400 baud external
modems, I would strongly recommend the Practical Peripherals unit, as I
did in a recent message. It is 100% Hayes compatible, but sells for a
fraction of the price of a Hayes unit (currently $179 from PC
Connections). It is very easy to set up, performs flawlessly, and is
warranted for five years. I purchased my unit almost two years ago,
together with PROCOMM PLUS, and have had no cause to regret my choice.
